A ferroelectric liquid crystal confined in cylindrical nanopores: Reversible smectic layer buckling, enhanced light rotation and extremely fast electro-optically active Goldstone excitations
Mark Busch, Andriy V. Kityk, Wiktor Piecek +7
The orientational and translational order of a thermotropic ferroelectric liquid crystal (2MBOCBC) imbibed in self-organized, parallel, cylindrical pores with radii of 10, 15, or 2…
Thermotropic interface and core relaxation dynamics of liquid crystals in silica glass nanochannels: A dielectric spectroscopy study
Sylwia Calus, Lech Borowik, Andriy V. Kityk +3
We report dielectric relaxation spectroscopy experiments on two rod-like liquid crystals of the cyanobiphenyl family (5CB and 6CB) confined in tubular nanochannels with 7 nm radius…
High-resolution dielectric study reveals pore size-dependent orientational order of a discotic liquid crystal confined in tubular nanopores
Sylwia Calus, Andriy V. Kityk, Lech Borowik +6
We report a high-resolution dielectric study on a pyrene-based discotic liquid crystal (DLC) in the bulk state and confined in parallel tubular nanopores of monolithic silica and a…
Inhomogeneous Relaxation Dynamics and Phase Behaviour of a Liquid Crystal Confined in a Nanoporous Solid
Sylwia Calus, Andriy V. Kityk, Manfred Eich +1
We report filling-fraction dependent dielectric spectroscopy measurements on the relaxation dynamics of the rod-like nematogen 7CB condensed in 13 nm silica nanochannels. In the fi…
Thermotropic Orientational Order of Discotic Liquid Crystals in Nanochannels: An Optical Polarimetry Study and a Landau-de Gennes Analysis
Andriy V. Kityk, Mark Busch, Daniel Rau +10
Optical polarimetry measurements of the orientational order of a discotic liquid crystal based on a pyrene derivative and confined in parallel-aligned nanochannels of monolithic me…
Paranematic-to-nematic ordering of a binary mixture of rod-like liquid crystals confined in cylindrical nanochannels
Sylwia Calus, Beata Jablonska, Mark Busch +3
We explore the optical birefringence of the nematic binary mixtures 6CB7CB () imbibed into parallel-aligned nanochannels of mesoporous alumina and silica…
